"Lovely ride. Lovely coffee stop in Menton. Except someone nicked my bike," Thomas wrote.

"Now in an Uber home. It's a Dogma F with F12 stickers. Random miss matched wheels and in need of a wash #oneofakind".

Thomas, whose current deal with Ineos Grenadiers is due to expire at the end of 2021, joked he had also lost irreplaceable training data.

The double Olympic gold medallist added: "Plus I haven't downloaded my Garmin this week. If it ain't on TrainingPeaks it didn't happen, right?"
